I wish technical people would stop using the words hard and easy. In general use when developers use the word easy is it supposed to mean simple, convenient, done by somebody else, low timeframe, fewer steps, less research, faster learning, something else, or all of the above?
- PopeDotNinja 6y agoWhen I read about a software product, I just ignore the adjectives.
- granshaw 6y agoEven more, the words “bad” and “good”. Yes we should be using the words “simpler”, “more maintainable”, “more approachable for newcomers” etc and their opposites. Engineering is all tradeoffs- let’s be precise on our adjectives unless we’re talking about things that are like 95% of the time a bad idea (eg goto statements?)
